It is challenging, isn’t it? I have worked very hard to teach myself to appreciate the small things, to love my day-to-day life, whatever the season, rain or sunshine, whether I’m at home or at work, because I don’t do so well with moving through the ‘big world’, if that makes any sense. It’s rewarding to learn to notice and love the world around you, even on the difficult days. I must admit, though, it helps that I live by the sea and by the little patch of scrub … there’s always something beautiful to observe or to come home to xo
